battery

I recently purchased a base Turbo, mostly for commuting, and the standard battery seems just about ideal for my commute -- so far I seem to use about 80% of the battery round-trip (~20 miles, mostly flat) in turbo mode. But I'm starting to think about longer rides and battery options. Before I...

Decided to test my hand at building an off the grid solar setup to charge a pair of Stromers, a Juiced Rider and a Stealth Bomber. **** Once I put a watt meter on the Bomber's charger and found it draws about 580-600 watts I knew I needed to have a decently capable solar system. Found some...

Just a word of caution to anyone contemplating buying a BionX e-Bike... in my experience the battery life is very short-lived and the after-service care from BionX is not going to be there for you.:(:( This is my experience: Two months out of the warranty period (26 months after purchase) my...

Looks like this battery from Lunacycle will work right out of the box. Has anyone tried using a 52v battery on their Rad Rover? What kind of differences are you seeing? (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

Ok, so as some of you who follow this forum may know, the first week I had my new Radrover I was an idiot. I went out for a multi-hour afternoon ride and didn't lock my battery onto the frame with the key. Of course it wasn't until the last few miles that I hit a bump that sent it flying off the...

So I went out for a half day ride today. On the way back I hit a bump and WHAM, my battery came flying off the bike and bounced/slid down the asphalt trail I was on. Scratched all to hell and back. I rode for hours without realizing that I failed to lock it down with the key. I slide it back in...

Both the batteries for my Radwagon are on the fritz. One the LCD light went dead but the power works. The other has a full charge but wont turn on, the tail light works though so it has juice. Only had them under 2 weeks.

Has anyone fabricated a sun/heat shield for their battery when riding in direct sunlight in hot weather? I've read about the heat damage to batteries and significantly shortened battery life when folks have ridden in very hot environments (e.g. Arizona/Texas). Obviously ambient temperature...

I just checked at the shop - my Base Turbo has 32 charge cycles after 900 miles in 45 days. I have 2 chargers between the office and home and depending on the wind, my 21.5mile commute (one way) leaves me with 10%-40% on full Turbo - I don't bother with ECO unless it forces me at below 20%...

This is a 2015 model that I just recieved. I rode it yesterday for 15 miles. Battery was fully charged when I started, battery was locked into place. The electrics shutdown (no assist and display blank). 3 times during the ride. Once at 1/2 mile, once at 7 miles and once at 8 miles. Each time I...

Hey gang, I was adjusting my battery cradle today and when I touched the hex key to the screw the prongs on the battery sparked... is this just discharge from the electricity stored in the cradle? Can this injure my cradle or controller?

I have a new Diamondback Overdrive (aka iZip Peak) that I'm concerned there may be a battery issue with. Court's review page indicates that it should have a range of 25-45 miles. My bike is indicating a range of 16-33 miles with a fully changed battery. This is more in line with the iZip Peak...

Upgrading batteries for ebikes a possibly complicated question, so I'm going to separate it... My objective on my ebike project isn't power or speed, but distance, without overpowering the motor or having to purchase one or two EXTRA batteries. I want to get a 350w hub kit, but the...

I bought a Panasonic ebike in Japan. I'm trying to find out if any of the Panasonic batteries that have made it to north america have similar casings and mounting brackets. Photos below. Thanks in advance! Mom of one

I just received my IZIP E3 Path+, unboxed it, set it up and went to plug it in...and the plug on the charger does not fit the battery. The pin placement is not compatible. The battery and charger both have labels saying they are 48V. When I look online I see pictures of the 36V system with...
